Child porn counts filed against man jailed on abuse charges

MARTINSBURG – A Berkeley County man jailed earlier this year on sexual abuse charges faces 20 additional felony counts after police say more than 1,700 incriminating files were found on a memory card that had been in his cellphone.

According to a criminal complaint, an Inwood woman reported to police earlier in December that she had located an SD memory card containing numerous explicit images of a young girl. She said she believed the card to be one Donald Freedman Graham, her former boyfriend, had removed from his cellphone, and she believed Graham had taken the pictures himself.

Graham, 30, of Winchester Avenue, had previously been charged in February 2013 with seven counts of sexual abuse by a guardian and was already incarcerated in Eastern Regional Jail. According to previously published reports, Graham allegedly sexually abused six boys and girls ranging in age from 3 to 12 years old.

According to the criminal complaint, police met with Graham to ask him about the memory card, and he admitted it belonged to him. A West Virginia State Police Forensic Unit investigation revealed the card contained 1,720 graphic files of child pornography. The files were determined to be a mixture of those taken by the phone and files downloaded from the Internet between July 2012 and February 2013, according to police.

According to West Virginia State Code, each felony count of possession of child pornography carries a possibility of two years in prison and a $2,000 fine. Graham also faces 10 to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000 on each count of sexual abuse.
